This $1,600,000 project grant, awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to test engineering controls that would allow continued and beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil while ensuring PFAS-free agricultural products.
The key activities include: (1) modeling PFAS solid-water coefficients and soil properties with/without powdered activated carbon, (2) developing machine learning models...
This $1,600,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509). The grant funds a 4-year project at Texas Tech University System to evaluate the bioavailability and transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in agricultural environments. Key activities include:
Characterizing PFAS partitioning in plant cultivation and comparing with soil type and...
This $1,600,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509). The goals of this 4-year project are to comprehensively understand PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in plants, advance strategies for PFAS remediation in biosolids/soil, minimize PFAS uptake by plants, and develop real-time monitoring tools for PFAS in biosolids, biosolids-amended soils,...
This $1,598,849 federal Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) will fund a multi-institution collaborative research project focused on understanding and mitigating PFAS contamination from biosolids used in agricultural settings. The University of Utah is the prime recipient and will oversee the work of several sub-awardees, including the University of Illinois, the State University of New York at Albany,...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,599,999.00 from the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development, under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to understand how and to what degree contamination of farmland by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can bioaccumulate in native plants and animals of cultural significance to tribal communities in Maine.
The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to enhance the understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) uptake and accumulation in plants grown in subsurface tile-drained fields irrigated with rural sewage effluent. The $1,599,522 award will also explore the physical and molecular mechanisms governing PFAS uptake and...
This $800,051 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program will support Temple University's research to examine baseline levels and bioavailability of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in urban farming and gardening resources and crops. The key activities include:
Quantifying the impact of soil, nutrient amendments, and irrigation water on PFAS uptake in crops grown in raised beds with biosolids or...
The University of Maine System was awarded a $1,599,998 project grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) to develop integrated PFAS mitigation strategies for forage, dairy, and meat producers. The 3-year project aims to (1) identify PFAS reduction methods that affect uptake in forage crops, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of livestock feed binder alterations, and (3) deliver outreach to support farmer adoption of PFAS...
This $725,481 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program will fund research at Purdue University to study per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixtures. The research team will quantify binding of individual PFAS and their mixtures to hemoglobin using in silico, in vitro, and in vivo tools. They aim to determine if PFAS mixture toxicity deviates from additivity and validate computational models of PFAS-hemoglobin binding affinity....
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $558,345.00 to Purdue University to investigate the distribution, fate, and impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Lake Michigan ecosystem. The project will assess PFAS accumulation in tissues of various fish species through lab experiments and field sampling, as well as measure biochemical and transcriptomic...
